[Healeys] BSF / BA Bolts - Austin Number Converter

[Curt/Nancy Arndt]

John,

Nice chart, but which model Healey are they for?

Plus we all know the BMC coding for UNF Fasteners, but this is NOT what Alan
needs.  What he needs is someone to do a spreadsheet showing the size and
thread of BSF, BSW, BSP or BA fasteners as they correspond to the BMC part
numbers in the parts book.  This is a project that Roger Moment and I have
talked about doing for some years now but haven't gotten around to doing it
yet.

For example, my 100 Parts books lists the three (3) nuts that hold the
"Front Cover for Water Gallery" and the four (4) "Nuts for studs" on the
carburetor "Balance pipe" as *2K 3975*.  It would be nice to know that this
part number corresponds to a 1/4 BSF standard nut.

I may already have some if this info, I just need to research and find it
and then I'll publish it on the list.

Cheers,

Curt
